пониращи реки losing rivers Explanation: A losing stream, disappearing stream or influent stream, is a stream or river that loses water as it flows downstream. The water infiltrates into the ground recharging the local groundwater, because the water table is below the bottom of the stream channel. This is the opposite of a more common gaining stream (or effluent stream) which increases in water volume farther down stream as it gains water from the local aquifer. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2015-09-22 12:21:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Под "пониране" се има предвид "изтичане".

пониращи реки sinkhole forming (sinking) streams / ponor forming streams Explanation: Понираща река е тази, която образува понори и впоследствие пропада в тях. Любопитното е, че и на запад използват думи от славянски произход - ponor и doline, вижте в статията на Уикито: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkhole Дори излиза, че ponor се предпочита пред sinkhole, защото еднозначно определя това карстово образование: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponor , така че можете да напишете и ponor forming streams. На стр. 17 тук е дадено определение за понор: http://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1899k/report.pdf Вижте тук за sinking streams: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1EtT-M9...
